Offered extended warranty on car I have owned for 5 1/2 years, stating that the warranty was about to expire. The warranty expired at 3 years, actually. After a brief survey on the condition of my car and mileage, they "approved" my car for their extended warranty. Then gave a price of $230 up front with payments of $129 per month for 18 months to cover car for repairs for 4 more years. When I asked for email, or a mailer with specific details they said they could not provide because they had sent notices in the mail before that I did not respond to. I asked for a callback number twice and was told no, that I needed to give them my credit card number now or else my car warranty would expire and then they wouldn't be able to make the offer again. When I balked again, he offered an even lower rate of $79 per month for 18 months with $200 up front. "Just give me your credit card number and we can get this started." I told him we had no deal since I could not see a contract ahead of time or call back later, over his pleas to take care of it right now.
Caller repeatedly calls and hangs up when I answer. Just learned from AT&T that they are receiving a moderate incidence of spam calls from this number.
Yup, the V-string is the signature of the V-dialer used by a lot of the phone spamming/scamming outfits. It includes the day and month you were called, the time in 24hr time to the hundredth of a minute, and a serial number showing what call number you were in the current calling sequence.
I answered this call from this telephone number. A woman stated they have sent several notices regarding my vehicle warranty expiring but they have not heard from me. (For one, I have not received anything about my vehicle warranty.) She wanted me to renew with her really persistant that I renew however once I stated I bought an extended warranty through the dealership she instantly hung up. My caller Id came up saying Final Notice!
I hope everyone remembers not to provide any personal information, passwords, or credit card, checking account information to anyone! As how they new the year and type of vehicle I drove still has me questioning how they had that info but I didn't give them anything more to work with.
